Im glancing through my email from the mailing list and noticed a lot of talk about centos3.4. When will it be released officially. I have read somewhere that RH is releasing RHEL 4 pretty soon....Im in no need to upgrade because my system is rather stable..just trying to get a idea of what is going on....I know i should be keeping up with the list...but it gets complicated at times.
I know j. hughes is building a beta test of 3.4...Im just curious as to if if (cent3.4) is a quarterly update like going from 3.1 to 3.3 or is it a major release as will 3.4 be the same as RHEL4.
3.4 is rhel 3 update 4..hence CentOS 3.4
RHEL 4 is in beta and the CentOS version is CentOS 4(beta)
Theya re not the same thing

Does anyone have a link to the Release Notes for RHEL 3 U4? I'd like to know what's changed...
I went looking on their site last week but it was such a pain in the ass.

I agree - it is hard to find much there.

I'm still confused. How do I move from 3.3 to 3.4? I've seen one post that says in 3-4 days it will happen with a normal update? So 'yum update' is all I do? This sounds incredibly simple...so it can't be right! :)

The release announcement says that the centos-release package will be updated on the old (3.3) updates, which will make the next Yum cycle after that begin to pull 3.4. So, yes, that simple.
To upgrade now -- from the release announcement:
rpm -ivh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/centos-yumcache-3.1-...
rpm -Fvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3.4/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/centos-release-3-4.2...
yum update

If you choose NOT to follow the steps from the release notes (read them all). http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=34 you will have to run yum update twice. Once to upgrade to CentOS 3.4 yum.conf and once to update to the new packages.

AND ... if you have modified your /etc/yum.conf, you may need to edit it after that upgrade and replace the /centos-3/ with /centos/
Here is an example yum.conf that works: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=101&forum=21#...
